Host, Mike Domitrz, welcomes CAST members Barry Moniak, John Sileo and Berni Xiong, to discuss this week’s topic: Stillness and do you have it in your life?. Mike shares a quote from Pico Iyer’s *The Art of Stillness*. Barry, John and Berni describe their idea of what stillness is, and share examples of where it has shown up in their lives. The desire to achieve stillness, leads the conversation towards the energetic, spiritual and physical practices to aid a person to stillness, in whatever form they desire it.

Barry Moniak brings insightful experience and profound discovery to his entertaining, interactive presentations. He inspires audiences to embrace a “befriend fear” mindset, to build focused, energized, synergistic winning teams. Known affectionately as the “CEO Whisperer,” Barry gets leaders to not see people as they think they are, but rather as they truly are. He identifies operational strengths and weaknesses, and creates a “befriend fear” modus operandi. This is the foundation for an extraordinary, winning, synergistic culture.

John Sileo lost his business, $300,000 and two years of his life to cyber crime — all losses that lead to his greatest success and fulfillment. Based on these first-hand experiences, John became an award-winning author, keynote speaker and national media personality on cybersecurity, and flourishing in the face of failure. His clients include the Pentagon, 60 Minutes, Visa, and any organization that values its data and people. What drives John at a deeper level are mindful relationships with his highly-spirited daughters, inimitable wife, and tribe of close friends.
